Commercial determinants of health
The One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, yet its implementation has largely focused on biomedical issues such as zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This biomedical focus often overlooks the social and economic drivers that shape these challenges. In this article, we argue that applying a commercial determinants of health (CDoH) lens can enhance the analytical and policy releva…
Years of Providing Evidence on Road Safety Interventions at the City Level
Road traffic injuries are a significant public health concern, ranking among the leading causes of mortality and disability-adjusted life years lost globally, especially among the young population.

Strengthening evidence to inform health systems
Cumulative social disadvantage and health-related quality of life
Cumulative social disadvantage was associated with poorer HALex performance in an incremental fashion. Innovations to incorporate SDoH-screening tools into clinical decision systems must continue in order to accurately identify socially vulnerable groups in need of both clinical risk mitigation and social support. To maximize health returns, policies can be tailored through community partnerships to address systemic barriers that exist within dis…
Low educational attainment is associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the United States adult population
Lower educational attainment is independently associated with increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in both the total and ASCVD populations, with the highest risk observed for individuals with < HS education. Future efforts to understand persistent disparities in CVD and all-cause mortality should pay close attention to the role of education, and include educational attainment as an independent predictor in mortality risk prediction algor…
